Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are often given big time accolades for their philanthropy but apparently they don't like paying the going rate to American businesses when they are seeking a room to rent during their many travels. According to a report from MSNBC's "The Scoop" when the Jolie-Pitt brood hit Texas they needed a place to stay and they wanted a little luxury and pampering.According to the report the brood wanted a 2,600 square foot luxury rental at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort and Spa, near Austin, Texas that goes for about two grand a night. But as Pitt and company didn't want to fork over that kind of coin for privacy and luxury they made a counter offer. $3,000 for the month or a paltry $100 per night.
Michael K does the math and figures out that that is about a 95% discount. The offer was rejected and the brood finally wound up renting a private home. It was reported earlier that the couple rented a home from the WWE wrestler "the Undertaker". Apparently he could slip the Pitt-Jolie discount into his budget.
Plus it has to be better than that stuffy old hotel. It even has a wrestling ring in it for the family squabbles. This report has all of the details. "The best part of the house is a separate gym area with a real [World Wrestling Entertainment] ring in it,” contractor Ron Charles, who worked on the home’s construction, tells Life & Style. “I’m sure Brad and the kids horse around in it.”
